Man O' War

Description

Unhand the Opus, my good man.

Man O’ War is carefully blended and hand-crafted by Abdel "AJ" Fernandez in Esteli, Nicaragua. Born in Cuba, AJ began working with tobacco at a very young age, studying under some of the industry's most legendary minds. After years absorbing knowledge, Abdel moved to Nicaragua 6 years ago and began building what is now emerging as one of the finest boutique makers in the country.

Of all the cigars made in his factory – ITC 10th Anniversary, Padilla Habano, Rocky Patel Fusion – Abdel considers the Man O’ War his finest creation. Each expertly made cigar is a sight to behold. The dark Habano Ecuador wrapper is beautiful...thick, smooth, and covered with natural oils. This thing is stunning, positively gorgeous. But underneath the velvet glove is a hammer, a robust medium-full recipe of aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan long-fillers which unleashes a bold bouquet for the senses. The opening is robust, with heavy spice and wood undertones, developing a chewy, velvety-smooth core of oak and earth which coats the palate, leaving behind a sweet array of spices. A variety of understated nuances come and go throughout the burn, including coffee, cocoa bean, and a touch of vanilla. Man O' War is simply incredible. I mean it.

The packaging for Man O’ War is suitably impressive, a presentation to match the quality of the cigar itself. 22 Man O' War cigars snugly packed in a unique, heavy cedar chest.

You really can’t go wrong with this cigar, I have been a smoker of Man’O War Cigars for a while now and I have tried most of them and of them this is the one I came back to. Very flavorful but not overwhelming. I’m definitely buying another box as soon as I can.

this is a good cigar even though it is not nice, right from the start it's in your face, full bodied is an understatement. it seems to mellow as you smoke it , i think i just become used to it's spicyness . some peeling of the wrapper did occur as i approached the nub. still very enjoyable full flavored cigar

Good even burn, with a pleasant taste profile and medium to full flavor. Some claim to taste various woods, spices and toast … dark chocolate and coffee are the ones I recognize and prefer. The double corona is a little longer and larger ring gauge than a toro but it is something less than the gigante extra large gigante.

The Man O'War cigar is pure delight. The draw is fantastic, even, and smooth. The burn is slow and even with a mostly white ash. Burn temp is good with light white wisp while the exhale is a cool full white smoke. This is a great cigar for the money and I always keep these burn sticks plentiful in the humidor.

A. J. Fernandez has the pulse of Cigar Smokers. Man O' War and Ave Maria in some size alre always in my humidors (in the majority). Rarely do I get a bad smoke. Let's face it...these are made by individuals and while the content in all the cigars can be similar (as close as they can considering that nature plays a part) the roller also plays a major part. So some times one not so great might sneak through. BUT...don't ever hesitate to buy this cigar in any size. AND CI ALWAYS GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY AT RIDICULOUS PRICES... I compare this cigar to any I've smoked that are in the upper echelon...including Padron.

Man O' War

Keith

I don’t want to overstate it but quite simply, Man O’ War is special. Let me count the ways.

First, the maker – AJ Fernandez. His Esteli, Nicaragua-based Tabacalera Fernandez factory boasts a surprising list of quality blends; in fact, he’s the best maker you never heard of. His list of clients includes Ernie Padilla, Rocky Patel, Kaizad Hansotia and others. He was introduced to tobacco and cigar-making at a tender age and has been in and around cigars ever since. Born in Cuba and having spent the first 25 years of his life there, he had the fortune of learning at the knee of Alejandro Robaina, the veritable Cuban Godfather of cigars.

Next – before getting into the cigar itself I must say a word about the packaging. Glorious. Man O’ War is packed 22 to a box, actually less a box and more a massive chest; each chest boasting beautiful artwork and rustic, antiqued detailing throughout. A glorious presentation foretelling the dazzalicious cigar to come.

On to the cigar – each time I reach for a Man O’ War I find myself gazing, saucer-eyed, at the wrapper leaf. This leaf is downright sultry....a dark (super dark) Habano wrapper grown in Ecuador that’s thick, leathery, and oozing with juicy oils. Oilier than anything I’ve ever seen. The filler blend is a Cuban-seed recipe of choice long-fillers from Esteli’s black soil. Overall it’s medium to full-bodied in strength, beginning with a searing rush of spice that instantly tingles the taste buds followed by a core of crisp tobacco flavor that is undeniable. About an inch in it becomes velvety and heavy on the palate, dusting your entire mouth with a disarmingly smooth core of earthy goodness. An array of spice lingers following each draw. To say this cigar is complex is an understatement. The veritable potpourri of unique flavors include dark roast coffee, mocha and leather.... expertly delivered on top of a backbone of sweet, oaky magic.

If you’re wild about ‘boutique’ cigars and/or complex blends – you will have a jones on for Man O’ War. Trust me. This cigar is epic.
